The similarities and situation between the
Donner Party and the Colonial Pilgrims is both appalling, frightening, and incomplete. Inboth cases, you'll find one: a fairly large groupof ill-prepared greenhorns pitting themselvesagainst nature and each other; two: an insufficient willingness to endure the veryreal hardships of frontiering, and three: coincidental misfortune at every turn. Disasters of both camps were initiallybrought about by departure, delay, desert,inertia; which caused our heroes to begin theirjourneys at absolutely retarded times weather- wise. If fantasy is the refuge of afrightened man, and a castle in the air is a safeharbor for a foolish few, just imagine living in a hutburied twelve feet below the snow, with the sight and smell of the scattered carcasses of lovedones at your feet; it is the lay of the land, just another day. I would like to propose thatcannibalism was indeed rampant among America's earliest settlers: The Pilgrims.
For what does settler imply, if not thewillingness to settle? To settle for a meal of humanflesh if my thoughts on the subject are to be believed. In conclusion, spread the word ofthis. Look to the night sky, and hark back to our forefathers' shortcomings, (and yourown), as you cut your meat and lay the groundwork for a new tomorrow.
